Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

So the rain has set in for the weekend it seems.

I had hoped to get some jobs done today and tomorrow, but that’s not happening.

So I reassembled the drivers indicator lense using this claimed to be special, adhesive.



Assembled, cleaned and put aside to dry.



Then went out to try get the side repeaters fitted.....

Very different, went to motor factors, no luck in finding amber bayonet fitting type bulbs as the fittings are not pinch type.

Also the actual stalk fitting on the new oval ones are thicker, and on receiving them I realised I don’t really like them, neither size nor design.

So ordered a new set of fittings for pinch type bulbs to be soldered in place next week........



And once I got home, sitting chatting with @craigrk decided to get a different set of lenses as I preferred these much more, they also suit the crystal style of the front end more.



While in the parts store, also bought 5 liters of concentrated antifreeze, as I am going to drain the cooling system and the heater channels and refresh all of the fluids.

Did I mention the truck was a keeper?

Bought the long life stuff.



Waiting for the weather to change.



Lastly..........

Question time:

16” wheels fitted with 195/55 tyres.

Any ideas as to what they are etc.

Terrible advertising on FB marketplace gives no more information.

Not on this BMW wheels site afaik http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/



Thanks.
